In this solo episode of Bodhisattva Conversations, I explore the practice of being with uncertainty, and the truth that the only thing we are ever certain of is that nothing is certain!
As human beings, we go to great lengths to construct safety. We build structures around money, work, relationships, identity, and even our spiritual beliefs. We tell ourselves that if we arrange life carefully enough, we will be protected from change.
But everything changes.
This episode is not about abandoning stability or rejecting the practical foundations of life, shelter, food, work, security. They support our human survival!
Instead, this podcast questions where stability becomes identity, and where safety becomes attachment.
What if uncertainty is not something to conquer, but something to live with?
What if the fleeting nature of life is what makes it precious?
When we truly accept that people will not stay forever, that circumstances will shift, that outcomes are not guaranteed, something relaxes.
We begin to appreciate more. We say thank you more often. We listen more closely. We treasure the ordinary moments that are, in truth, extraordinary.
The deepest safety may not be found in controlling life, but in learning to remain present within it.
